Here's some shots to the YF-23, available in the Military Downloads section. I think it needs a little more snap in the manuverability department, but the looks are absolutely great!

sweet shots!

very nice, do you use that Galaxy (or Antonov what is it) for AI?

Its definately a Galaxy

Yes. It's a C-5. That's by far my favorite aircraft. It's the newest GMAX version with 3 textures. In the photo, I just landed the YF-23 at Travis AFB, (KSUU), where I inserted several C-5's as AI traffic. I think the one shown, is on it's way to Edwards AFB, (KEDW).

Thanks for the kudos, guys.  ;D

that YF-23 is a really uncommon designed plane. nice!

It had to fit into the size of a F-15, so thet limits the heigth of the tails.
And the guys at nothrop know their stuff about stealth tech, which makes it into the flat tails.
Personally i think that the YF-23 should have been the definitive aircraft instead of the F-22. it has a smaller side profile, which will make it a more difficult target in dogfights.

It had a longer range was faster and more menuaverable than the f-22 but slightly more expensive.

the only thing disturbing me, are its missing elevators...

I haven't researched the 23, but, aren't they integrated into the wing? "Elevones"? (Elevators + Alerons)

I checked a site and it said something about ruddervators?

anyway,i think it looks a bit ugly without elevators.

I think its georgous.
